Mozart originally notated the Sonata in A major on nine pages of music paper, probably using a goose feather quill pen dipped in ink.
This single page contains more than 1,000 markings.
Note the absence of crossings out, erasures or rewritings.
He was able to compose whole pieces mentally, BEFORE he committed a note to paper.

Mozart composed the initial eight pages of the manuscript using two pairs of leaves, known as bifolios, which were placed inside each other.
The left-hand leaf of the first bifolio contained the first two pages of the sonata, followed by the nested second bifolio that included pages 3 to 6.
Lastly, the right-hand leaf of the first bifolio held pages 7 and 8 on its two sides.
It is evident that Mozart ran out of space, so he wrote the final measures of the finale on an additional leaf, which was now situated in Salzburg.
Could you write 1,000 marks on a page without a single error?
